Allofyou wrote: This thread is about overrated and underrated pokemon. While many pokemon are overused, there are many pokemon that is are underrated and rarely talked about. I make made this to give advice to other players as well.

Note:

- Include details on each pokemon with real and objective reason

- We all have opinions, but we can it is fine to disagree so as we can share ideas to each other, but not go far like fighting or offending others throwing personal insults to each other.

- Overrated does not always means overused and the same goes for underused. Overrated means that people like to brag about it being a very good pokemon, while underrated means no one is talking about it or is underestimating the power of the pokemon.

Example:

OVERRATED:



Skill Skill Link Cinccino

Reason :

- Outclassed mostly by Mega Heracross and Cloyster as Skill Link user.

- Unlike those two pokemon, Cinccino does not possess high attack power and has poor offensive and defensive typing.

- Only real niche for Cinccino is that it has higher base speed, which although Cloyster can use Shell Smash to boost its speed too.

UNDERRATED:



Storm Drain Gastrodon - Both physically and specially defensive

- Has Storm Drain too to absorb water type moves and gain special attack.

- Decent defenses

- Beats almost every water types type in the game

- Can learn Recover, which helps it recover constantly throughout the game

- Good defensive typing

Moveset / EV spread :

Gastrodon @ Leftovers

252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDef or 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpDef

Bold/Relaxed for physical defense, Calm/Sassy for special defense

- Scald

- Toxic

- Recover

- Ice Beam / Earthquake Just want to fix some mistakes here and there, bold words beside the strikethrough words/phrases are my corrections.

To contribute to the thread:

UNDERRATED:



Alomomola, a Bulky Utility Pokemon

-In terms of PBB, it has access to Wish and Protect just by levelling up, and Toxic(obtained on Route 13) and Scald(obtained after finshing 3rd gym) are also relatively fast and easy to obtain.

-Its hidden ability, Regenerator, is a beautiful thing that synergises and allows Alomomola to pass big wishes with that 165 HP base stat while also healing 30% of its own health just by switching.

-Water Typing in general is nice since it resists common typings(mainly Water and Fire) that run around PBB meta.

-Base defense stat of 80 and special defense stat of 45 is although, not impressive, it is still enough for Alomomola to be able to tank multiple physical hits and special hits with the right investment.

-Although it can't exactly retailiate, it is still well able to scout opposing pokemon moves by tanking, and act as a pivot into strong physical attacks.

-Wish is able to keep tanky Pokemon that lack proper recovery moves, such as Heatran, Rotom-Heat, Bulky Arcanine and Mega Camerupt, which benefits from Alomomola, much as how Alomomola benefits from them.
